Planning your Minneapolis Elopement

Small moments are still a big deal.

So, people come to plan their elopements for all sorts of reasons. That is awesome, and however you come to an elopement, know that you can have a beautiful and meaningful ceremony to mark the start of your marriage.

Choosing a more intimate celebration of your wedding means you get to focus on the most important things – you and your partner.

I approach elopement photography with two goals – document your joy together, and make sure the photos feel natural and intimate.

Small Minneapolis City Hall wedding and brewery reception – Marie and Andrew

When I say "every challenge is an opportunity", what I mean is this - its raining, and so now the skyline isn't blown out by harsh sun. Now there is a yellow umbrella, and an excuse to cuddle under it. Now there are fewer people walking, and a groovy saturated pavement, and a very grateful me.

Marie and Andrew’s City Hall wedding was pre-pandemic, so it was small but not socially distanced. What would the photos look like if I had shot it during restrictions? Definitely more masks during the cocktail hour and the ceremony. Otherwise, very similar – small group, outside photos when we can.
